The Shins Oh, Inverted World LP

Here's what we had to say about the Shins debut record circa 2001. Hailing
from Albuquerque, NM, The Shins sprung from the ashes of Flake/Flakemusic in
1997 (though those previous incarnations date back nearly a decade) – same
members, different instruments, different approach. Counterpoint guitars have
given way to a single guitar pitted against calculated keyboard passages;
swarming indie rock machinations led to pop-based melodic endeavors (who knew?).
